Tottenham striker target Michy Batshuayi wants £100,000 a week to seal White Hart Lane move
Belgium and Marseilles hitman would become one of club's top earners but Chelsea and West Ham could pounce over delay
TOTTENHAM target Michy Batshuayi will join - but for no less than £100,000 a week.
The Belgium and Marseilles striker, top of Mauricio Pochettino's list of forwards, would go straight in as Spurs' highest-paid player.
But it is believed the White Hart Lane hierarchy are reluctant to OK a deal for such an amount - thought to be around £20,000-a-week more than current top earners Hugo Lloris and Moussa Dembele.
Star striker Harry Kane, who today starts England's Euro 2016 campaign against Russia in Lens, is thought to be in talks over a new deal.
And his pay packet could more than double - reaching the six-figure mark as reward for getting Spurs Champions League football.
